Whereas Martin (1973) examined item effects for individual subjects as indicators of their idiosyncratic organization of the middle of a lengthy, constant sequence of unrelated nouns, the present study examined the constancy of item effects across groups of subjects learning a short list of moderately difficult CVCs. (Author/RK)

Learning occurred faster with a fixed input grouping sequence than with a changing sequence. (Authors)

The present study attempted to increase the number of responses investigated in the study of retroactive inhibition. (Author/RK)

Study was designed as a further test of the effect of: induced muscle tension (IMT) on the efficiency of acquisition of verbal material; IMT during training on the retention of verbal material; and IMT during recall on the recall of verbal material. (Authors/CB)

Nonsense syllables and two-arm semaphore" positions were the tasks in this study of experience free learning. (MB)

Results indicate that when subjects are given explicit instructions as to the interlist relationship and when the transfer list is presented at a relatively slow rate, both positive and negative transfer effects may be obtained in the serial/paired-associate paradigm. (Author)

Results of these five experiments span serial pattern learning, perception of sequential patterns, and coordinated motor skill. (Authors/CB)

A primary purpose of the present study was the evaluation of possible differences in process between the recall and anticipation methods of serial learning. (Author)

Increase in probe accuracy following concurrent training was consistently greater than following serial training. (Authors)

This study tested four complementary hypotheses to characterize intrinsic and extrinsic influences on the order with which preschool children learn the names of individual alphabet letters. The hypotheses included: (a) "own-name advantage," which states that children learn those letters earlier which occur in their own names, (b) the…
